It's like a superhuman school suddenly appearing in reality, but this school is a military academy.
If war breaks out in the future, you will be needed to participate in the battle.
If this opportunity presented itself to you, what would you choose?
Moreover, if the ninjas can't hold out on the battlefield, these civilians won't be able to protect themselves either.
Therefore, although many commoner ninjas lack talent, they can only remain junior or lower-ranking ninjas for their entire lives.
But for them, this was already a leap in social class, and they were willing to enter the Ninja Academy to study.
Moreover, those trained at ninja academies tend to place greater emphasis on teamwork compared to those trained by ninja clans themselves.
The teamwork here is not the simple cooperation of a few people, but a large-scale group operation.
If an individual's strength doesn't overwhelmingly surpass that of others, the strength of a team will always exceed that of an individual.
A ninja's abilities are indeed suited for solo operations.
However, there aren't that many special operations on the battlefield.
If the frontal defenses cannot be sustained, the battle lines will collapse directly.
Are we supposed to wait until the enemy reaches Konoha before confronting them head-on?
Therefore, the ninja clans would eventually send their members to ninja academies to study, and then use their spare time to teach them their clan's secret techniques.
This way, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort and grow faster.
In order to promote the Ninja Academy system, the Second Hokage even selected a few graduates from the Ninja Academy as his direct followers.
The person who took the first bite of this cake was none other than Sarutobi Shimura and his cohort of high-ranking officials.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's era, only those who entered the Ninja Academy were considered to have earned the title of Hokage.
Therefore, for the sake of their clan's future, no matter how you look at it, the ninja clan had no choice but to obediently go to school.
As for what some old fogies say—that the Ninja Academy is just training cannon fodder—that's not entirely wrong.
However, once war breaks out, the people trained by your ninja clan will only be cannon fodder.
Back then, could you have avoided the war and prevented your people from going to the battlefield?
At that time, it's foreseeable that each ninja clan will fight their own battles and be defeated one by one.
Otherwise, other countries would not have followed Konoha's example and established ninja academies.
Of course, they can't see these things now.
They stubbornly believe that the Ninja Academy is not as good as their own.
Now, in order not to offend the Hokage, they will naturally comply with the Hokage's policy and arrange for some clan members to enroll in the school.
Those who were assigned to the ninja clan academy were essentially in a state of being semi-abandoned, so the clan would provide some compensation.
The reason it's described as a semi-abandoned state is because you're not being nurtured within the clan, so naturally you won't have friendships with your peers.
When these families grow up, no matter what benefits they may receive, they will never think of you.
Therefore, in the current era, entering a ninja academy can be seen as a sign that a clan does not value it.
Most of the people assigned to these groups were orphans, because orphans have no powerful backers and are easy to bully.
Ultimately, that's how it is in every world; people always pick on the weak.
However, entering the Ninja Academy was actually a good thing for Uchiha Seiryu, not to mention the various hidden benefits of entering the Ninja Academy.
Uchiha Seiryu was currently struggling with how to get close to the talents in his plan, especially Tsunade, since the Uchiha and Senju clans didn't have a good relationship.
If he were to casually go to Tsunade, he might get a beating from the Senju clan.
The news brought by Uchiha Nobu was like a pillow delivered to someone who was sleepy.
After all, based on information from the anime, it's certain that Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya will all be attending the Ninja Academy.
The Hatake clan, to which White Fang belongs, is not a large clan. According to calculations, Hatake Sakumo should be attending the Ninja Academy now.
Joining the Ninja Academy would give Uchiha Seiryu the opportunity to openly and legitimately interact with these people.
So when he heard what Uchiha Nobuyoshi said, he couldn't help but chuckle.
They not only provided a plan for implementing their scheme, but also offered generous compensation.
The Uchiha clan members who used to dislike him now looked kind and benevolent.
Suppressing his inner joy, and wanting to know if he could get some compensation, Uchiha Seiryu said somewhat dejectedly:
"Is my clan going to abandon me?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Xuan panicked for a moment, completely losing the arrogance typical of the Uchiha clan.
At this time, Uchiha Seiryu was only six years old. When a six-year-old child looks at you pitifully, especially when you know that he has just lost his best family member.
Anyone with a conscience would feel uneasy, so Uchiha Xuan quickly offered an explanation.
"That's not how it works. How could your family abandon you?"
“You can still come to study at the clan center after school or during holidays, so it won’t have a big impact.”
This was certainly not what Uchiha Seiryu wanted. Seeing Uchiha Xuan's panicked expression, he decided to continue the performance.
After making up his mind, his eyes immediately reddened. He stood up, looked up at Uchiha Nobunaga, and asked pitifully:
"Really? Could you offer some more compensation? For example, could you give me some medical knowledge?"
Uchiha Xuan was so flustered by his acting that he immediately agreed.
"Really, really, I do have some basic medical knowledge, and I'll compensate you privately for it. But what do you need it for?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Xuan calmed down somewhat and looked at Uchiha Seiryu with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu not only didn't panic, but instead put on an even more enthusiastic performance.
"Uncle, I want to become a medical ninja and heal everyone so they won't die and can go home and reunite with their families."
After speaking, two tears slowly streamed down Uchiha Seiryu's slightly reddened eyes, which made Uchiha Xuan feel a little heartbroken.
He stepped forward and patted Uchiha Seiryu's head, comforting him for a while before speaking:
"What a good child. Don't worry, I'll bring you the medical information tonight."
Thank you... Uncle.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Seiryu stopped crying, wiped his eyes, and thanked him with a slight tremor.
This acting is so good that even an Oscar winner would give it a thumbs up, saying that the golden statuette should be awarded to Uchiha Seiryu.
After a while, seeing that Uchiha Seiryu had recovered, Uchiha Xuan stood up and prepared to leave.
As he reached the door, he turned back to look at Uchiha Seiryu for a moment, then nodded and left without saying anything more.
Uchiha Seiryu frowned. He felt that Uchiha Noboru might have figured something out, but he couldn't be sure.
But he didn't dwell on it for long, since it wasn't unreasonable to ask for medical knowledge to learn.
Even if his acting skills are seen through, at most he'll just be disliked by Uchiha Sen.
However, Uchiha Seiryu sensed that Uchiha Xuan, who did not appear in the original story and whose way of doing things and personality were different, would be helpful to his future plans.
Chapter 6 Ninja Academy Examination
As for what medical knowledge is for, it's naturally for future plans.
Using medical knowledge as an excuse to get close to Tsunade is perfectly appropriate, and getting close to Tsunade will naturally lead to getting close to Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
What Uchiha Seiryu just said to Uchiha Sen was not a lie; he portrayed himself as a very talented medical ninja in the early stages.
This approach would not only avoid unnecessary conflicts and reduce trouble, but also lower the guard of the third generation and other high-ranking officials.
An Uchiha with only medical talent would naturally be more trustworthy to use than an Uchiha with the talent to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This also allows us to get closer to the talents in the plan, since these people have been favored by the third generation, and Tsunade and the other two have even been taken in as their disciples.
Moreover, the AFK system can unconditionally enhance abilities. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as he AFKs for a very short time, his medical abilities will surpass those of this era.
A doctor who can save your life may be the only doctor who can save you.
A doctor whose medical skills are unparalleled in the entire ninja world would likely be respected by everyone unless there were special circumstances.
..................
As Uchiha Seiryu walked through the streets of Konoha, he saw many adults leading their children toward the Ninja Academy.
Some children looked on with anticipation, imagining their future ninja careers, and excitedly pulled their parents' hands, walking forward without stopping.
His parents looked at their child with complicated expressions, and some parents even changed their minds halfway and left with their children.
After all, the casualty rate of ninjas is still very high, especially in this Ninja World War, which was particularly brutal, with six or seven out of ten civilian ninjas losing their lives.
Moreover, ninjas are considered a high-income group. Even if they can only become genin, their monthly income will be much higher than that of ordinary people.
Entering the Ninja Academy and becoming a ninja is probably the fastest and fairest way for ordinary people like them to cross social classes.
Therefore, these parents both hope that their children can successfully enter the ninja academy and worry that their children might be sacrificed in the future.
Uchiha Seiryu followed the flow of people and soon saw a building that looked familiar to him.
The ninja academy appeared before him, and at this time, the ninja academy was not much different from that of later generations.
On the red gate, a large character for "patience" hangs, next to a signboard.
Turning his gaze away, Uchiha Seiryu slowly walked into the Ninja Academy.
Upon entering, you'll see a ninja dressed in a Konoha uniform registering children who have come to sign up.
Beside him, a ninja was maintaining order and loudly reminding him.
"Hurry up! After you've registered, the children should wait for the assessment in the playground inside. Parents, please don't go in!"
Since Uchiha Seiryu was wearing the Uchiha clan crest, he naturally wouldn't register with these commoners.
His name has already been registered within the clan and sent to the Ninja Academy. Now, as long as he passes the assessment, he will be assigned to a class. This can be considered a small privilege of the Ninja Clan.
Following the direction pointed out by the ninja maintaining order, Uchiha Seiryu arrived at the training ground to prepare for the assessment.
Hundreds of children gathered together on the playground, their chatter filling the air.
Despite the large and chaotic crowd, Uchiha Seiryu still managed to spot Tsunade at a glance.
